Secrets of Online Persuasion Book

Since there are so many powerful and now proven concepts in my book, Secrets of Online Persuasion, I’ve decided to share more of it with you. Sometimes, as marketers, we need to be reminded of the basics. We are here to serve our clients as well as create income for ourselves. This is why we are marketers, correct?

Here’s your excerpt….

Secrets of Online Persuasion – Where The Wealth And Power Are

The age of communication requires exchanges, but creation of all those comments, conversations and bits of information builds a tremendous volume of data. Real wealth and power are not where you think. It’s not necessarily reserved for the high-volume producers or high-traffic sites.

The greatest area of opportunity for many businesses lies in what’s called the “Long Tail.”

The Long Tail is a term coined by Chris Anderson in an article he wrote for “Wired” magazine in 2004. (Also the book of the same title, released in July 2006.)

It comes from a graphical representation that shows how the relatively few in any industry, market, or supply channel can appear to carry most of the momentum. They form what’s called the “head.”

All the smaller players or lower demand products trail off in a downward sloping curve. They form what is called the “Long Tail.”

For a practical example of how this works, let’s take a look at a graph representing the sale of music.Graph
In the head, are the primarily off-line stores who look (at first glance) to be carrying the bulk of the volume in sales.

However, when you look closely, you’ll notice that the number of titles available is limited only to the most popular artists, and only when purchasing an entire CD. When you move into the Long Tail, you see the sale of many more obscure song titles with an appearance of decreasing volume.

But the fact is that Napster has gained the loyalty of customers who either purchase or “rent” access (through a $15/month membership) to the same high demand titles in the head, along with nearly two million lower demand individual songs in the tail. The sum total of all the less popular titles in the Long Tail far outweighs the volume in the head.

By leveraging New Media delivery/consumption, and satisfying the desires of numerous musical micro-markets, Napster is able to compete with the big name stores via the Long Tail.

Secrets of Online Persuasion – Profits Love Speed

There is a new philosophy in the world of New Media: Profits love speed. What does this mean?

If you are promoting a product or your business, do it fast before the next big product comes out. New products keep your tribe engaged. Deb and JP knew this already when they wrote the book, “Secrets of Online Persuasion” which was the first book published on New Media Marketing.

This is NancyLin, and I’m Coach Deb’s personal assistant who has access to the raw files of her NY Published book. Today, I thought I’d extend my access to you, her loyal blog readers so you can learn a few New Media Marketing Tips from the Pioneer herself in New Media by sharing brief chapters from her book.

Here’s an excerpt for you…

Secrets of Online Persuasion - The Opportunity For Fast Acting Movers

The shakeout between the fast and the slow has already begun. The slow will fail in their feeble attempts at preserving the old ways.

It reminds me of Neo in The Matrix at the end of part one, where Neo gets on the phone and says to those controlling and manipulating what people see:

“I know now what you’re trying to do, and I’m going to let them all know.”

Now with the New Media, there is an army of Neos – hundreds of millions of change agents. They are passionate about participating in the marketplace conversation and transformation. And that strikes fear in the hearts of the entrenched institutions.

Secrets of Online Persuasion – What Does This Mean To You And Your Business?

It means it’s no longer “business as usual”. It means you can’t market, sell or manage the way you did even just three years ago.

It also means you can give yourself a tremendous competitive advantage when you understand the New Media Marketplace.

If you’re in business and you’re not already feeling these changes, you will soon enough. The New Media world of blogs, Podcasts, social networks, Wikis and more are enabling participation and connection like never before in history. If you want a head start on your competitors, it’s something you must get involved with now.

It’s not that you have to become a New Media expert. You don’t even need to blog or Podcast every day. What it does mean is that you need to be aware of the New Media Marketplace and keep track of it even if you’re not actively participating in it just yet.

Otherwise you can count on this – you will be pummeled by the whitewater of the tsunami when it hits you.

So, what makes the New Media Marketplace different? Is it really changing the way we do business from here on out?

Secrets of Online Persuasion — New Media Marketplace

What’s going on in the New Media Marketplace is a digital reflection of what’s going on in the real world. At the heart of this is an interactive, dynamic where insight and innovation are front and center. Creative ideas on how to develop new products, policies and services are what are driving the marketplace.

This new Marketplace can be summarized in one word, “caput.” That is Latin for “head.” From that word comes the word we know as capitalism. So, out of the head comes creation, information, education and wealth.

Capitalism is about private creation and ownership for the common good. It doesn’t work unless what you’re creating serves some kind of need or provides a solution. Thus, if you are not serving the greater good, you will fail. This is the opposite of a socialist system where everything is supported regardless of its validity.

Information, Education And Wealth

Anyone can create information. And if it’s valuable information and it makes an impact, it becomes education. But only if it solves problems, removes pain, or increases pleasure does it bring wealth.

Not everyone who recognizes the New Media Revolution will make money in the marketplace. Some will contribute information, some will educate, but a precious few – the ones who truly understand how the New Media Marketplace works – will be able to generate wealth from it. Only those who can create, converse, and deliver value will do profit from the marketplace.

That’s the main driver for you as an entrepreneur, business owner, sales professional or marketer entering into the New Media Marketplace. Create through participation, converse with your ideal audience, and deliver value.

Doing this successfully requires a shift in your mindset, but it can be done. If I can do it, anyone can. LOL! (That’s laughing out loud in “Internet speak”.)

A few years ago, Coach Deb and JP Micek teamed up to produce a book called Secrets of Online Persuasion. Here is an excerpt for your enjoyment……

The New Media Revolution

The tidal wave of cultural transformation is not coming. It has already hit.

“They are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all the doors and they are holding all the keys, which means that sooner or later someone is going to have to fight them.

I won’t lie to you Neo. Every single man or woman who has stood their ground, everyone who has fought an agent has died. But where they have failed, you will succeed.

I’ve seen an agent punch through a concrete wall; men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their power is still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.”

- Morpheus to Neo in the movie, The Matrix

Most people are missing it, and that’s good … for you. Because now, with the help of what we’ll be sharing with you in this book, you’ll see opportunities where your competitors and peers feel confusion and frustration.

What’s the mistake? What are people missing? It’s the tidal wave of cultural transformation that’s sweeping the modern marketplace – a revolution that’s happening offline, online, and everywhere in between.

It’s easy to miss. Since this reformation of the marketplace is being powered by the New Media, it looks like it’s all about technology. And that intimidates most people. But don’t allow yourself to be fooled. It’s not about the Internet, blogs, iPods, or any other cool new tool on its own.

People, participation and persuasion are generating the Revolution.

That’s so important to your business success in the marketplace of the new millennium that it bears repeating. The New Media Revolution is about people, participation, and persuasion.

Grasp this one concept and you’ll quickly leapfrog your competitors to lead your niche in marketing, buzz, and branding.

As Seth Godin first forecasted in his 1999 book, Permission Marketing, traditional advertising and marketing through interruption is dead. Today, despite the companies large and small who still blindly stumble along, following habitual patterns of the past, the new millennium consumer has proved Seth’s forecast to be true.

Will you follow in those same old footsteps until the reality of failure hits you? Or will you ignore the lie that others are telling themselves and profit from this exciting new marketplace?
